According to international practice, the steamed fish cooked by Yuan Zhou wasn't the common kind, and the most important thing was that one fish wasn't enough for so many people.
Therefore, the fish looked like a whole fish from afar, but upon closer inspection, it was actually a fish fillet arranged on a plate.
All the fish meat was cut into pieces of suitable size, and the fiery red fish skin was retained. Only then did it feel like a whole fish.
"Although he's young, he speaks with propriety and cooks carefully." He Zhenghong picked up the fish and nodded in his heart.
He Zhenghong's compliment wasn't groundless. First of all, many countries weren't used to eating whole fish, and some people would even feel uncomfortable when they saw a whole fish.
But slicing the fish into pieces was a good way to avoid this problem. Second was the Sweet and Sour Pork just now. Yuan Zhou specifically introduced it.
It was an innovative dish, and the innovation wasn't only in the taste, but also in the use of ingredients.
The traditional Sweet and Sour Pork used pork, but Yuan Zhou used chicken breast. It was tender and chewy, and it didn't have bones.
There were many nations in the world that didn't eat pork, but no one had discovered that they didn't eat chicken.
"The fish looks good." The Thai Prince wasn't as conflicted as the Japanese and Country F people. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and smiled.
"Indeed, this dish looks good." The Indian politician also nodded and quickly picked up a piece of fish.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the people here all represented their respective countries, many of them would've picked up a few pieces at once.
But for the sake of their country's image, everyone was reserved and cautious.
"It looks good. You can eat more," He Zhenghong said with a smile, but he stopped eating first.
Well, he was the representative of his country in Huaxia, and he couldn't show an image that he couldn't eat enough.
"The dishes cooked by this young head chef are too delicious," He Zhenghong complained in his heart.
Although He Zhenghong said so, and the naughtiest Thai Prince and the Indian politician were about to do the same.
But when they saw there were no fish in the pond again, the two couldn't help but frown, but they quickly restrained their frown.
"Who the f * ck is so fast? I have only eaten a piece of fish." The Thai Prince was smiling on the surface, but cursed inwardly.
It's rare to meet two people who suit my taste. It seems that everyone present is an expert. The Indian politician thought to himself.
While the two of them kept cursing in their hearts, Wuhai and Dashi Xiujie were about to fight on the other side.
It was because the one who ate the most fish this time was not Wuhai, but Dashi Xiujie.
The word "again" was crucial.
This made Wuhai simply unable to tolerate it. He directly wanted to display his skill of snatching dishes in the restaurant. He hadn't even used the Crow Style Chopsticks Technique that could shock heaven and earth and make ghosts and gods weep.
However, he was held back by Zheng Jiawei. That's right, Zheng Jiawei wasn't qualified to eat with chopsticks, but he could hold back Wuhai all the way. With this burden, he couldn't perform at all.
"Alright! I'll remember you. "Wuhai stared at the back of Dashi Xiujie with hatred.
Without Zheng Jiawei and Yuan Zhou, Dashi Xiujie might not have been able to walk out of the banquet hall today.
Dashi Xiujie didn't notice Wuhai's irascibility, either, because the taste of the fish shocked him again.
The East Star Mackerel originally had an extremely fresh and sweet taste, but it was not easy to keep it fresh and tender on such an occasion.
However, what Yuan Zhou did was different. He hadn't even put it into his mouth, but he had already smelled the fragrance of the lotus leaves when it reached his mouth.
"It's the fragrance of the lotus leaves, but it also carries the faint fragrance of lotus flowers." Dashi Xiujie thought to himself.
Once he put it into his mouth, the warm fish meat was wrapped in his mouth. Even before he chewed it, the freshness of the fish meat spread in his mouth.
Once he chewed it, it became even more amazing. The thin fish meat was wrapped in the delicious fish soup, and a kind of extreme freshness and sweetness burst out in his mouth.
"Well, it's really the ultimate delicacy of the fish meat." Dashi Xiujie sighed with emotion inwardly.
"It's gone so soon?" Dashi Xiujie felt the taste in his mouth faded away, so he immediately continued to pick it up and eat it without hesitation.
As for the expressions of Wuhai and the dignitaries of his country at the side? Sorry, Dashi Xiujie, who was immersed in the delicacy of the fish meat and couldn't extricate himself, couldn't see them at all.
The dignitaries of the Japanese country had originally forced themselves to endure the name of the fish meat and had a taste of it. Although it was delicious, they didn't intend to eat another bite.
But when he saw the chef beside him eat it happily, he found the chef didn't care about his opinion at all.
"Anyhow, you are our chef. Do you have to eat others' food so happily?!"
The dignitaries of the Japanese country all changed their expressions. They complained intensely in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything about it. After all, although dignitaries of the Japanese country were important in society, they weren't as respected as craftsmen and writers.
The portraits of scientists or writers were printed on their coins instead of dignitaries.
The Thai prince and the dignitaries of India looked at the chefs on their side and revealed an inquiry in their eyes, which meant, "Can we compete with them?"
The two chefs lowered their heads. What was there to compete with? Although they were very confident in their culinary skills, they didn't have the confidence to conquer the taste of so many countries.
Especially the Japanese. Almost every time when the dignitaries of the Japanese country ate their Thai or Indian dishes, although they said, "Very good, very good", their expressions were as if their mothers had died. Their acting skills were too low.
"Why are the executive chefs of Huaxia getting better and better every time? They are so shameless." This was the common feeling of the executive chefs of all the countries.
Feeling other people's gazes, Yuan Zhou continued to be indifferent as if the small scene was not worth mentioning.
"I wonder what kind of dishes Yuan Sang-ang will take out next." Putting away the chopsticks, Dashi Xiujie had a strong sense of expectation in his heart, but the idea of competing with Yuan Zhou faded away.
In everyone's expectation, He Zhenghong let Yuan Zhou continue to introduce the following dishes generously.
After eating several dishes in a row, everyone had a good understanding of Yuan Zhou, the youngest executive chef in the history.
He was the youngest and also the strongest in the history of the Asia-Pacific Exchange Conference.
That was, his craftsmanship was excellent and could satisfy all their tastes. Moreover, his dishes tended to be bland, which was really a strange contradiction.
Everyone looked at Yuan Zhou in a different way, showing that they treasured him.
They all sighed with emotion that even the culinary skills of Huaxia were so strong.
There were eight main dishes in total. With He Zhenghong's guidance, they soon came to the last dish, which was also a main dish and also the first dish that Yuan Zhou had cooked.
Because it had been cooked for a long time, it was just the right time to put it in the last position.
Until it was served, the dish was still simmering. It was just that it was simmered with the remaining heat instead of an open fire or charcoal fire.
After the introduction of the first seven dishes, He Zhenghong also had some understanding of Yuan Zhou's eloquence. When she came to the eighth dish, she asked with a smile, "Executive Chef Yuan, what's special about the eighth dish?"
Yuan Zhou nodded slightly as usual and then took a step forward, saying, "The eighth dish is based on the Immortal Duck in Confucian Cuisine."
"Oh? Is it improved? "He Zhenghong asked.
"Not exactly." Yuan Zhou shook his head and then said, "Because the Immortal Duck in Confucian Cuisine was created in the period when Kong Fanpo, the 74th generation grandson of Confucius, was the magistrate of Tongzhou in Shanxi. But my Immortal Duck is the work of a chef from Sichuan in modern times."
"And I'm based on this chef from Sichuan and the Immortal Duck in Confucian Cuisine. But the taste is different, so the cooking method is also different," said Yuan Zhou.
"This dish is called Immortal Boneless Duck. It's a boneless duck. Please have a taste." Yuan Zhou did not introduce the cooking method in detail. He just nodded slightly and then reached out his hand to gesture.
